Ocala Man, 81, Shoots Man Trying to Rob Him

OCALA, Fla. (AP) -- Sheriff's deputies say an 81-year-old man shot a man who had been following him as he drove home.
James Stevens told deputies he knew something wasn't right Sunday night when he noticed a vehicle following him. So he stopped near a field, armed himself with his .38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver and got out of his truck.
The Ocala Star-Banner reports 28-year-old Lonnie Lorenza Hollingsworth Jr. got out of the vehicle and demanded "everything you got."
A sheriff's report says four rounds were shot from the gun and Hollingsworth was hit once, in the abdomen. He's listed in critical condition at an Ocala hospital.
Hollingsworth was convicted in 2008 for altering the serial number of a firearm. Deputies say he wasn't armed Sunday night.
Deputies are investigating.

He's lucky that round hit the man. He cut it awfully close only having 6 rounds. Had he missed the man, he probably would have been killed.

He's an old timer. Those guys don't spray and pray like these new guys do... they spent much of their lives with wheel guns and knew to make every round count. That's one of the drawbacks of these Glocks... they make it so easy to spray and pray that you hit something.

Personally, I suggest that people only put 7 rounds in their magazine and hit the range. That will teach you how to make each round count.

Interesting take on it, but I'd rather make 15 rounds count.
